Telling your SO

When the day comes you find out have you thought about how you are going to surprise your significant other??

For those that have been pregnant before share your stories.

With my first I had taken a test the day of missed period and it was negative or so I thought. I wasn't very smart on this whole getting pregnant thing at the time. I took a blue dye took a glance and put it away. I was visitng my sister and didn't want to discard it at her house. A couple days later it was time for me to fly home and my sister gave me a book on TTC. I read that cramping can be a sign of pregnancy. My husband picked me up from the airport and dropped me off, but had to go back to studying. I decided I'd go buy more tests bc I was a few days late at this point which wasn't too alarming as I had been off bc for two months and jsut thought my cycle was off. Well low and behold I got two positive tests. I called him up and asked him if I could bring him some studying brain food. I met up with him and handed him a mini candy bar. He looked at me like I had gone crazy....food, what food?! Well I lifted up my shirt and on my belly I had written "You're a Daddy" on my belly. He at first was confused then excited.

With number two it was just as exciting as with number one. I for one can't keep my own secrets so couldn't wait to tell him. I put a bun in the oven. I kept telling him something was burning. He was like nothing is burning. I said honey check the stove I swear something is burning. He was like Fine! but you are crazy! He opened the stove and said "There is bread in the oven" I said its a bun. He just stared. I said "Its a bun, get it? Honey there is a bun in my oven"

I know both of those are pretty silly, but they are still memorable and fun for us.

On my last pregnancy I a note card sayin "Daddy I cannot wait to meet you" with a big red heart including the pregnancy tests. This time I am planning to get apoppy seed and in the note I will say " Mia is a big child right now but this one is a size of a poppy seed" I stoled it from another member from BBC.

I'm hoping more people post their ideas or what they did. I already got a FPL yesterday so I'm going to test again tomorrow. We had a miscarriage in November so I'd like to do something a little extra special with this one, when I get my BFP. I think both of your ideas are cute too, so I may steal one. This would be our first.
